Stellaris from the Automata Era

Chapter 10: Human, you have no moral principles!

The scene became solemn.

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Yan Luo felt that the atmosphere was unusual.

He could already see the eyes of the white-haired figure opposite him constantly changing as he looked at him. He couldn't see some of the emotions for the time being, but he had seen the other parts many times in his previous post-war companions.

"Hate."

Yan Luo almost sighed.

Obviously, he understood that the high-dimensional life had absolutely no good intentions. This kind of hostility was exposed nakedly on their first meeting. If he had just woken up, he would have been killed by her knife without any resistance.

Sure enough, his previous assessment of high-dimensional creatures was not wrong. In essence, they were just fun-loving people with bad personalities.

Perhaps for Him, this scene is a rare and interesting one.

But for Yan Luo, it might be a fatal omen.

Thinking of this, he quickly gave brief orders to the twin sisters.

"Divara, Popola, alert."

The moment the words were conveyed, Gemini naturally felt something was wrong.

Rather... they had experienced this kind of emotion before, just like how the other humanoids treated them in the previous camp.

No...it's even worse and hotter than the previous one!

Without taking any action, their system started to sound the alarm continuously.

"you..."

Divara wanted to say something, but the opponent immediately launched a set of magic sword lights.

Even though they were alert, they were unable to catch up with the action.

Fortunately, this set of vertical half-moons was not directed at them, but passed directly over them and passed through them.

But...behind that location...humans...

Just when they wanted to turn their necks stiffly, a familiar voice came from behind them in a dull voice.

"I am fine."

'Is this a mistake?'

Looking at the knife mark on the ground to his left, which would have cut off one of his hands if it had been one centimeter more towards him, he was lost in thought for a moment.

But he quickly gave up the possibility of making a mistake. People may make mistakes due to various factors, but machines will not.

Yes, although I don't want to regard these humanoids who already have their own thinking ability as cold machines, their essence will not be shaken just because they are covered with human skin.

In fact, Yan Luo has always been thinking about whether Popola and Diwara's feelings for him are programmed or they are their true feelings.

Maybe the former is more likely. After all, who would have an almost perfect favorable impression of a stranger right from the start?

So what's going on with the person in front of me now?

If she was supposed to have hatred towards herself, but she didn't kill herself when she had the best chance.

This...is getting interesting.

Yan Luo was not actually too affected by the situation where he almost died. He was also a man who had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​insects.

If he expressed emotions such as cold sweat, surviving a disaster, or having cold hands and feet in response to a situation that did not actually harm him, it would be an insult to him, and the ghosts of his dead comrades behind him would burst into uncontrollable laughter.

In order to make him feel the above-mentioned emotion, at least one of his 'Power of the King' must have been cut off.

"Do you know what you're doing? He's human!"

Popola roared angrily.

At the same time, she and Divara formed overlapping lines to block Yan Luo behind them.

Just now they had nearly lost their Creator again, right before their eyes, through a similar mistake.

Just thinking about this made their brains tremble uncontrollably.

Everything in their memories turned into their tangible anger.

"I know, but I will kill them all, whether they are humans, bunkers, or mechanical life."

"Your system is broken!"

Divara gritted her teeth.

Protecting humanity has always been a setting written into the core humanoid system, and everything else is an expansion based on this.

This is also the reason why they were able to expose their human identities so openly before. In their minds, all humanoids have always been natural and unshakable allies.

Even if they began to doubt Yan Luo's identity, they would just go through the process of disbelief, then confirm his identity, and then swear allegiance.

How could a situation like this happen...

But it happened.

"Maybe."

The white-haired figure didn't say much. Instead, she spun the knife and pointed the tip at the person in front of her, completing a provocative gesture.

"You guy!"

Divara was already furious, her face flushed with anger, probably because the furnace had boiled again and cooked the artificial part.

In short, for whatever reason, she no longer allowed herself to talk to the other party.

At this time, only the clash of swords and knives is the choice she or they want in their hearts.

Fight!

Shouting silently, Divara took the lead in brandishing her weapon, jumping and spinning with her sword. Her skillful movements made Yan Luo feel like he had seen her before.

Soon the scene became a mess, with the clanging sound of iron hammering and the flashing of knives.

It has to be said that humanoids are generally strong, and can perform various difficult movements at will. In addition, they do not have the same physical limitations as humans, so the scene is simply a gorgeous swordplay special effect.

But...anyone with a discerning eye can see that Divara is at a disadvantage.

Apparently, for some unknown reason, the white-haired humanoid did not have much desire to attack and was more inclined to defend.

Of course, only defending and not attacking does not mean that she is the suppressed party, it only means that she is at ease.

Sometimes, even when she was about to be hit, she would dodge it with an unknown mechanism of teleportation.

It's magic! Right!

"Bobo La, you come along too."

"But my Lord, I want to protect you."

"Protect?" Yan Luo made his own assessment of the situation. "If Diwala is defeated, I don't think you can protect me alone."

"So let's go together. You don't want anything to happen to Divara, right?"

Yes, although the opponent doesn’t seem to have much intention of attacking, no one knows what will happen if the situation continues for a long time.

All I can say is that if they switch to the offensive, something might happen that Boppola would regret deeply.

"Sir, please be careful."

In a moment, Popola made a decision, she brandished her weapon and joined the battle.

The battle actually developed very quickly. As the twin sisters had always said that they were not the fighting type, Yan Luo initially thought that they were just hiding their type.

After all, with the strength of being outnumbered, he really didn't believe that he was not good at fighting.

only...

"Is this a real combat model?"

One against two, passively defending, and still having the advantage, Yan Luo could only sigh that the twin sisters did not lie to him.

Perhaps the opponent was tired of blindly defending, and after seizing a slight flaw, he delivered a perfect double whip kick, kicking Popola and Divara to the left and right.

After briefly paralyzing the two humanoids, the white-haired humanoid twisted his body and ran towards Yan Luo.

"I knew it... Fortunately, I made some preparations beforehand."

Yan Luo quickly took out a ball-like thing from his body and pressed the button.

Then...a blue light-like electromagnetic effect flashed by.

Within a certain range, all electrical equipment is paralyzed.

emp!

Chapter 11: The glory of mankind will last forever!

System self-test...Self-test successful...Starting.

Sound self-test... Import started.

Visual self-test...starting access.

Unknown language plugin found... loading.

Where is this?

When A2 woke up, the surroundings had changed. Since her rebellion, this was the first time she could see the ceiling when she woke up.

It felt like a lifetime ago, and for a moment she was reluctant to leave. Of course, it would be better if the bed behind her could feel softer.

"you're awake."

She raised her head following the sound, and then in the corner of the wall, a female figure with slightly curly red hair stared at her warily, while one hand firmly held the weapon at her waist.

"It's you."

The humanoid figure next to that human.

Her memory suddenly revived like an erased disk, and she was defeated in front of Emp.

Of course, if there is only one EMP, it is not enough to make her lose her ability to move, but what if there is more than one?

Anyway, at the end of her memory, she forced herself to dodge around with a little willpower, and then the human fired the second shot without hesitation. At that distance... If she remembered correctly, it seemed that another humanoid was also affected.

Is he truly human? Even if his actions could put those around him in danger, he could still act according to his will without blinking.

Thinking of this, she sat up.

"You don't need to be so wary of me. Haven't you already put me in chains?"

a2 raised his hands slightly, showing the shackles on them.

Then she was stunned first. The artificial skin on the shackles that had been detached due to lack of maintenance in long-term fighting was repaired.

That pure white appearance...she hadn't seen it for a long time.

"Yes, but you are already broken, and it is necessary to prevent you from doing anything strange."

Divara did not relax at all because of what A2 said. She knew clearly that the opponent was a combat type. Even if his weapons were taken away and he was shackled, he still had the means to fight if he wanted to.

"Although I suggested destroying you outright, the Lord insisted on interrogating you. I hope you won't do anything you'll regret later."

After saying this, Divara pressed a button beside her, which was obviously for some kind of notification.

About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard.

A2 had a human being that she couldn't observe with her electronic reconnaissance equipment.

He was holding a long wooden object in his hand. After coming in, he casually leaned it against the wall. Then he raised his hand and called in a few androids who were mistaken for mechanical life forms except for their round heads.

They pushed a battle armor as tall as a person, placed it in a corner, and then retreated.

After doing all this, the whole room looked... a little more crowded.

"Okay, the preparations are almost done. Oh? You seem to care about these things? This is a crutch and this is my armor. These are things that may or may not be useful in the near future."

Is this an interrogation?

The word "interrogation" has always only existed in fantasies in human form and can only appear in reading materials related to humans.

As for the human form, it is completely useless.

So looking at the humans who started talking, A2 didn't know what to do.
